This study aimed to explore the emotional reactions of perceived role discrepancy among elementary school teachers. Literature review, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaire survey were used to collect data. Based on the literature review, a theoretical typology of teachers’ emotional reactions resulting from perceived discrepancy between ideal and actual role experiences were proposed. Semi-structured interviews were then used to collect relevant information to develop the 24-item “Inventory of Emotional Reactions of Perceived Role Discrepancy” (IERPRD). This inventory was administered to 389 elementary school teachers. Factor analysis revealed 4 factors, including “harm/loss”, “challenge”, “dismiss” and “threat”, accounting for 74.6% of total variance. The IERPRD had good reliability, with Cronbach’sαcoefficients of .96, .87, .65, .95 for the four subscales and .95 for the entire scale. Expert validity for the IERPRD was also ascertained. |
